Story Brief

SpaceX cleared an important milestone Monday on the road to launching a new version of Starship.

For the third time in three years, SpaceX has stacked a new version of its enormous Starship rocket on a launch pad in South Texas, just a few miles north of the US-Mexico border.

The newest-generation Starship, known as Starship Version 3, is taller and more powerful than the ones that came before it.
